Last weekend Josh and I were laying low and decided to have a movie night.
We headed to Walmart to stock up on our favorites. Sidenote, but how adorable are those mini M&M’S® tubs? I want them all! No movie night is complete without some popcorn, cold soda, and a few sweet treats.
We made this movie night extra special with a little at-home chocolate popcorn recipe. It was super easy to make and tasted great.
Movie Night Chocolate Popcorn Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 bags of Orville Redenbacher's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn
- 12 oz Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 Cup low fat milk
- 3oz M&M’S® Chocolate Candies
Recipe
- Pop the popcorn in the microwave and then transfer to a lined baking sheet to cool.
- Fill a small saucepan approximately halfway full with water and nest a small metal bowl on top of it. The water should not touch the bottom of the bowl.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium heat and add the chocolate chips, stir continuously until they begin to melt.
- Slowly stir in the milk, mixing continuously until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and drizzle the chocolate evenly over the popcorn.
- Sprinkle the popcorn and chocolate with M&M’S®.
- Place the tray in the freezer for approximately 15 minutes, or until the chocolate sets (the texture should be dense and fudgy).
- Break into clusters and place in a large bowl, to be enjoyed with a good movie!
Since I am a baby when it comes to scary movies, we opted for a kid-friendly scary flick. Josh was a huge fan of the Goosebumps books growing up, so it was fun to watch this lighthearted thriller. Jack Black did a great job playing R.L.Stine, and I would recommend this movie for kids and adults alike.
It was the perfect way to spend a laid-back evening.
